THE TRINITY 1945 UFO-CRASH HOAX
In January 2023, Jacques Vallee told the New York Times, the UK Daily Mail, and other news media that in August 1945, three witnesses--two boys and a military pilot overhead--simultaneously saw a crashed UFO in New Mexico. I spent three months digging into those claims, and I have now published my findings in a suite of 14 articles. The gateway article, which includes an index and a summary of each of the topical sub-articles, is found at the link below.

However, for those who would rather read one short illustrative narrative (rather than a long summary of my wide-ranging inquiries, findings, and conclusions), I recommend my little article about New Mexico State Police Officer Eddie Apodaca. In the Trinity UFO-crash tale told by Jacques Vallee and Paola Harris in their book Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret, Eddie Apodaca is a key figure -- a "friend of the family" who actually entered the crashed alien craft on August 18, 1945. However, my investigation documented that Officer Apodaca, although he really existed, had been hijacked and inserted into the hoaxers' work of fiction. The real Eddie Apodaca was with the Army Air Corps in Germany in August 1945, and did not return to New Mexico until at least three months after the fictional UFO crash. Moreover, Apodaca was not commissioned as a police officer until August, 1951-- six years after the fictional UFO crash. After that, the real Officer Apodaca became a well-known figure in Socorro County, where the two future hoaxers, Reme Baca and Jose Padilla, were living in their early teens. For details and contemporary documents, see the article at the link below.
